Re All That Chat - Ann Miner quoted in Michael Riedel's column today:
I'M getting e-mails accusing me of being the hacker who's shut down All That Chat, the theater site on which I've been called "a sad little man," "Addison De-Halfwit" and "an anorexic Pillsbury Dough Boy."
Nice to know one has fans.
But listen. I have a flip cellphone and still pay $25 a month for my AOL e-mail account.
I may be a hack, but I'm certainly not a hacker.
Some have speculated that the culprits are the producers of "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," which comes in for a daily drubbing.
But Ann Miner, who runs the site, dismisses such talk.
"I think the producers of 'Spider-Man' have other things to do," she says dryly.
Her candidate is some poster, as yet unknown, who wrote something incendiary and got thrown off the site.
"People really get angry when we do that," she says. "But at this point there is no indication of the hacker's identity."
Miner says All That Chat is running anti-virus programs and installing a security system.
She expects the site to be up today.
I'll read it and weep.
